Eddie Howe - Nominated for Manager of the Season

[Kid Icarus]

[Andy]

Regardless of what happens next, this bloke has pulled off one of the most important and - at one point - seemingly impossible tasks in our modern history. Club legend. 

[Disco]

Couldn’t agree more Andy. All that and to top it off he’s made an awful lot of so-called professional commentators look like the absolutely thick reactionary cunts they undoubtedly are.

[mouldy_uk]

Thank you sweet Prince ?

[54]

Absolute legend, wouldn't have anyone else here  

[Skeletor]

That fella from Bournemouth who got a team relegated done good.

He's smashed it this season, he's turned the club around, got the players motivated, organised and performing. He's also engaged the fans and got them all behind him and he deserves a huge amount of credit for it. 

 

Next season will see a different remit though, the goals of next season will be different to those of this one. He'll need to push on and make progress up the league. He'll be backed 100% in the market but whoever he buys will need to be integrated and deliver, the bar will be raised pretty steeply over the next 3 years or so and he'll need to get it right. I like him, I rate him but he'll need to step it up as the expectations from the owners will definitely rise exponentially.  

[Scoot]

Well done Eddie and his team. You've worked wonders.

[Robster]

Thank you Eddie

[Kid Icarus]

Big up to Jason Tinder and the team as well. Can't imagine Howe would take all the credit, or that he should. Class team effort

I hope the fixture list is kind to us next season. I think that could help alot if we get a decent run of fixtures from the off to set us up well and boost the confidence of the players and staff.

[The Bard of Byker]

Statue! Imagine if we'd been relegated after the takeover. He ushered in the new era calmly and in shite circumstances. Bravo!

Bet he's spent some time on there like

[toontownman]

Absolutely unthinkable what he has done here really. I rated him before he came, I was a little soured given other names linked at first but I just can't see another manager would have pulled off what he did. Even rating him a little I thought the squad and league position was likely too far gone. I am so excited to see what we look like next year with players that he wants around him playing for the club. 

 

Legendary and part of our folklore now even if things go square next year. 

[Memphis]

Cannot be overstated what a wonderful job Eddie Howe has done - and done it with a demeanor as even-keeled and professional as I have ever seen. Clearly gets what it means to lead a club like ours but has never seemed overwhelmed or anything other than calm and controlled. 

 

I think he can grow with the club but that's for another day. For now, it's enough to applaud the job he's done. Perfect manager for us right now.

[The Prophet]

Absolutely love the fact that he took time out of the game to address his weaknesses. A top pro and a fantastic ambassador for the club.

[Guest reefatoon]

What a fucking achievement man. We were dead and buried.

Spectemur agendo

[Anderson]

Does Pilko still think he's just a 'shit PE teacher'?  

[gbandit]

Top man, he’ll get a trophy with us too

And without wanting to speak too soon, looks like he's learned a fair bit. I was fully expecting us to be, at best, better going forward and open at the back like Bournemouth were. Nothing about our good run was like that, we were really solid and nicked important goals and shut up shop.

[STM]

Whatever happens, he will leave this club as a legend. Its now up to him how far he wants to take that legendary status.

 

Will it be "Eddie how was a decent manager for us."

 

Or "God".

 

I really love him as a bloke, so centred and calm. 

[TheBrownBottle]

I trust the gaffer will be having a glass tonight now the maths are in - and then back to thinking about the Arsenal game as soon as he’s necked it.

 

Irrespective of money spent, this club was destined for the drop before he came in.  We all know that - bollocks to know-nowt pundits.  Whatever happens from here on in, it’ll always be remembered that it was built upon his achievement this season.

 

And I’m also over the moon to write that, if what is coming over the next few years happens as we think it does, we’ll get to bore future generations of NUFC supporters about what it was like to be worried about relegation.  Can’t wait - I’m a naturally cantankerous bastard at the best of times.

 

Cheers!
